Central Georgia has a lot to offer as the "crossroads of the south." Macon is the city where artists like James Brown and Otis Redding launched their careers.

As a native resident, Cornell South aka Mr. Nepalm continues a rich musical heritage that keeps Georgia on his mind. A self-proclaimed nomad ("know"mad), Mr. Nepalm has gained some valuable insight during his journeys. He uses the paradoxes in his environment to paint contrasting visions of ascension with perseverance: "Out of anything you may encounter; if it doesn't kill you, it can only make you stronger."

A lyricist since grade school, Cornell South began his music career in the "ciphers" at Southwest and Southeast High Schools in Macon, Georgia. His love for music inspired him to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Communications from the University of Georgia at Fort Valley State. From there, he founded The N.E.P.A.L.M. Network (Media:http://www.nepalm.5u.com) and has since been working with other artists to put Macon back on the map through music and the arts.
